Saint Charles Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Stephanie Lessmeier

Many people overestimate the experiences that cause PTSD, and invalidate their experiences, saying things like, “I haven’t been through any big traumas, I can’t have PTSD.” And yet so many of my clients that struggle with perfectionism, inadequacy, low self esteem, and shame have many PTSD symptoms that they brush aside. Identifying and resolving past trauma, can greatly reduce our suffering.

MacKenzie Bradke

You're a professional Mom who is overwhelmed with being all the things to all the people all the time. She struggles with taking time for herself, anxiety and setting boundaries. She is a people-pleaser whether she realizes it or not yet. She's got a good head on her shoulders, but damn, it's hard to keep doing this day in and day out. She wants to make changes, but just isn't sure where to start or what to do. I do also enjoy working with college students and men struggling with the same.

Kevin Herbert

While I work with every age from preschool to the elderly, I typically work with adults who are facing a challenge that has made life difficult to manage. Are you seeking someone who understands suffering? Whether recent loss, painful trauma or a moment of deep personal crisis, you seek someone who has been there and understands what it takes to stand up again.

Jessica Hughes

To effectively address your reason for therapy, we will use psychodynamic cognitive behavioral neuroscience, and real-life experiences (with an eye toward how you can use your support system, community resources, mindfulness and newly learned skills) to live the kind of life you envision for yourself.

Stephanie Ricker

I have experience working with those who are healing from past abuse from intimate relationships and family conflict.

Together, we identify core issues, feelings, and resolve problems while developing healthy coping skills. Increasing self empowerment creates an opportunity for you to embrace your own unique strength and power. We will create a new mindset of mental healing, emotional growth, and self-discovery.

Rahul Mehta

The extent and prevalence of PTSD and it's effects on both the mind and body is vast. In addition, trauma can come in countless ways unbeknownst to cultural norms. Understanding the root cause(s) of current triggers, sensations, body memories, and intrusive thoughts while utilizing my knowledge in Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and one of my favorite novels, "The Body Keeps the Score" is pivotal for my clients.

Nichole Oliver LPC, NCC, CCTP

Specializing in treatments for complex traumas can help you with these symptoms: Reduce reactivity, flashbacks, rumination, hypervigilance, anger, avoidance, insomnia, chronic pain and the fluctuation between flooding and feeling numb, "wired and tired." Remove the emotional charge of traumatic memories, family patterns, self-defeating language, subconscious mechanisms, habits and behaviors.

Marie Bonner-Horon

I work with individuals ages 3 and up. I use different creative techniques: play, art, digital gaming, sand, and humor as tools to help make the environment more comfortable for my clients to share and then heal. I keep a safe and non-judgmental healing space.

Melissa Webb

I have worked with individuals with PTSD for over 7 years. Trained in EMDR therapy to help decrease the intensity of the traumatic event. I’ve also worked with individuals that have self-harmed, had thoughts of suicide, or have displayed other behaviors (overeating, low self-esteem, promiscuity, etc.) due to PTSD.

Linda Pevnick

Are you up at night worrying, feeling down? The night can feel so long and so lonely it feels when you can't sleep and your mind won't shut down. I help adults who need: help with a relationship that isn't going well; a way to calm relentless anxiety; a resolution to the pain of depression; and proven ways to overcome insomnia. I can understand your pain. You need not suffer alone. I have been helping people successfully for many years and I would like to get started helping you! Call me today!

Mekeya Jama

PTSD can occurs when people experience or witness a life-threatening event. It's normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. But, when symptoms last more than a few months, it may be PTSD. You are not alone, PTSD can be effectively treated through psychotherapy. I can help you identify your pattern in a safe space by utilizing evidence based approaches.

Ashley Bell

If you're exhausted with feeling inadequate, anxious, or overwhelmed, you are in the right place! Which one of these sounds like you? I hate my job; My partner and I fight all the time; I feel stuck in my trauma; I don't know what I want to do with my life. My clients are a mix of couples that would like to work on conflict resolution, young people with anxiety and/or trauma, and high-achieving managers that always feel like they're failing.

Alyssa Lazzeroni

I work with the healers and helpers who not only have seen the worst in their work, but also have a personal history of trauma. So many in the healing and helping professions have their own backgrounds that fueled their fire to care for others. I work with healthcare workers, birth workers, activists, and other helping professionals who want to move from an inner place of fear, imposter syndrome and co-dependency to a place of inner safety and confidence with awareness and boundaries in place.

Scott Morrow

I currently have openings for daytime, evenings, and weekends for adults seeking psychotherapy services for long term, chronic, or situational depression, stress, anxiety and chronic disorders.

Melissa Anderson

Life can be incredibly hard at times. We can't control or change what has happened to us, what we needed but didn't get, or how isolating and confusing things can be. Sometimes we don't understand why we feel the way we do, how people interact with us, our reactions, or what to do next. Maybe we don't feel much at all. I know reflecting on our behaviors, thought patterns, and life experiences can be incredibly difficult, and I’m here to support you through that process.

Dora Angevine

Individuals reach out because they want to feel seen, understood, and desire real change. Couples reach out because the love they feel is lost or buried under frequent or intense arguing and conflict. No matter your background, our mission is to achieve harmony and balance in your life again. If you are up to the challenge of turning your life for the better, let’s connect

Holly Shiels

Do you notice yourself scrolling through your phone, binge watching TV, always on the go, or shutting down completely? “I’m fine,” you say, “just tired”. For my clients, they realized that they were, in fact, not fine. They decided this was not the most joyful, fulfilled life that they could imagine for themselves. It was actually filled with anxiety, numbing, and a sense of deep self doubt. If this sounds like you and you are open to exploring another way, this is the place for you.

River Dowdy

I have specific training trauma-focused psychotherapy and complex trauma.
